YOU JUST CAN'T WIN 'EM ALL

                                          In the streets there's people dancing;
                                          You sit home and wonder why
                                          He would turn on his heels and go,
                                          No backward glancing.....
                                          What he said that night
                                          You still can't quite recall.....
                                          You can try, you can try
                                          But you just can't win 'em all......

                                          One good turn deserves another;
                                          He wasn't the first to leave this way -
                                          Oh, you tried so hard to keep your faces covered....
                                          Now you say that no one told you
                                          'Bout the price you'd have to pay


                                          Wasn't it you who said that nothing mattered ?
                                          Wasn't it you who had to have it all ?
                                          Now your broken wings are all in tatters....
                                          I could learn how to fly
                                          But you're just too far to fall....
                                           
                                           You can try, you can try
                                           But you just can't win 'em all;
                                           Don't ask me why
                                           You just can't win 'em all....
                                           You can try, you can try
                                           But you just can't win 'em all......
